Rebirth of the Unworthy

When Li Rongxiu and Shen Manyao walked into this very elegant and quiet coffee shop one after the other, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby.Seeing everyone pretending to be inadvertently looking over, Shen Manyao smiled slightly at Li Rongxiu.But Li Rongxiu didn't look at her, but turned his head to look at the sparsely populated lobby.Shen Manyao immediately felt a little boring, and the smile that was originally honey on her face also slightly restrained.

A waiter came up to usher the two of them to their old seats, and asked in a low voice what they wanted.Before Li Rongxiu could speak, Shen Manyao said, "Bring me a cup of hot milk. As for Rongxiu..."

Shen Manyao turned her head and said with a sweet smile, "Or a cup of hot cocoa?"

Li Rongxiu nodded, and casually ordered a Napoleon pastry and a plate of macarons.Seeing this, Shen Manyao smiled and shook her head, returned the menu card in her hand to the waiter, and said, "I have never seen any boy who loves desserts like you, both cocoa and macaron, sweet Sweet and greasy, how can it be delicious?"

Li Rongxiu just smiled and didn't reply.Shen Manyao hesitated for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and said lightly: "But think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with liking sweets. At least it is scientifically proven that eating sweets can make people feel better. Just like me now... …When I am alone, I also like to eat dessert more and more.”

Li Rongxiu looked at Shen Manyao's lonely expression, and the gossip weekly magazines and entertainment tabloids' follow-up reports on Chi Junrui's "Journey to Chasing Wife" emerged in his mind, and his heart suddenly dawned.However, he did not try to comfort Shen Manyao, but asked straight to the point: "Didn't you say that you have news about Chi's sale of the shipyard and infrastructure projects? What is the news?"

Hearing this, Shen Manyao unconsciously smiled wryly and fiddled with the white jade bracelet on her wrist.The bracelet is translucent white, like gelatin, under the soft crystal light, there seems to be a gleam of light floating in the jade, and the part of the white wrist that reflects it becomes whiter and smoother, it really makes people understand what is meant by "beauty is like jade" ".

This was the token of love that Li Rongxiu privately gave to Shen Manyao when the Li family proposed to the Shen family.This pair of white jade bracelets was originally one of the dowry items Mo Wanrou married into the Li family. It is said that they were old items brought by the old empress of the previous dynasty. hand.When Shen Manyao was in and out of Li's house, she expressed her love for the pair of bracelets to Li Rongxiu more than once, so Li Rongxiu begged Mo Wanrou to give him the bracelet, and then he gave it to Shen Manyao.

As the saying goes, when Li Rongxiu put the pair of bracelets on Shen Manyao's hands that day, seeing Shen Manyao's ecstatic and unbelievable look, he even joked that he was able to secure the beauty with just a pair of bracelets.It's a pity that at the engagement banquet, Shen Manyao regretted the marriage for some reason, and all his expectations fell through.Later, he was busy with embarrassment and anger, and then he was instigated by Chi Junhao to beat Lin Junrui violently, causing the two families to fly and fight, and he had long forgotten about the pair of bracelets.After that, Shen Manyao went abroad with an excuse, and the matter was left alone.

Noticing that Li Rongxiu was staring at her wrist, Shen Manyao paused for a moment when she fiddled with the white jade bracelet, then stretched out her hand to withdraw the bracelet from her wrist, played with it reluctantly for a while, pushed it to Li Rongxiu and said, "This was originally given to you by you." A token of love for me. It’s a pity that there is no fate between us, so you should take it back. I believe this pair of bracelets will find a better owner.”

Shen Manyao said, looking at Li Rongxiu with eyes full of hesitation.

It's a pity that Li Rongxiu didn't pay attention to Shen Manyao's expression, his gaze was still fixed on the bracelet.After pondering for a long time, Li Rongxiu sighed, stretched out his hand to pick up the bracelet, and said with a sigh: "Okay. Anyway, you are with Chi Junrui now, so it's useless to keep this bracelet. If he sees it, it will hurt you." Destroy the relationship between you. Then I will take it back... Anyway, this is also the packing of our Li family's daughter-in-law. It is not suitable for you to wear it."

When Shen Manyao heard this, the expression on her face froze slightly, she opened her hands subconsciously to clasp the bracelet, and then she immediately woke up and stopped her impulse.She watched Li Rongxiu casually throw the pair of priceless white jade bracelets into the interlayer of her schoolbag, and her heart felt as painful as bleeding.

His breath was stuffed in his chest, choked in his throat.The expression on Shen Manyao's face became more and more tangled, she couldn't figure out whether Li Rongxiu had seen through her deliberate intention of retreating to advance, or if she was really grumpy until she didn't realize the deep meaning of her actions.or...

Li Rongxiu really doesn't love herself anymore?Have no feelings for yourself at all?That's why he unquestionably took away this pair of white jade bracelets that he had tried so hard to get?

After being silent for a long time, Shen Manyao shook her lower lip calmly, and finally chose to believe that Li Rongxiu was upright.Because she really couldn't believe that Li Rongxiu would be a person who was so smart that he saw through his own thoughts, and even deliberately played tricks on him, playing tricks on himself.

Of course, Shen Manyao would never admit that Li Rongxiu didn't love her anymore.He used to be so obsessed with himself, it's impossible for him to have no feeling for himself in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Shen Manyao suddenly felt uneasy and panic in her heart. She vaguely felt that something that belonged to her was slowly slipping away from her palm.Such anxiety and suffering made it difficult for Shen Manyao, who is possessive by nature and always likes to control everything in her hands.

Of course, in fact, Li Rongxiu's original heart was just like what Shen Manyao thought, and he didn't have too much thought - he just felt that his own things fell into the hands of an outsider, which was really disturbing, so he wanted to return his own things.As for unintentionally breaking Shen Manyao's confidence in her own charm...it was really an unintentional thing.

The nostalgic atmosphere between the two of them turned sour because of Li Rongxiu's act of collecting the bracelet, and an awkward silence spread.Fortunately, there was a waiter serving hot drinks and desserts at this time.Shen Manyao sorted out her mood, thanked the waiter with a nod, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot milk, the warm liquid flowed down her mouth into her body, which also calmed Shen Manyao's slightly anxious mood.She regained her strength again, smiled and said to Li Rongxiu: "Since I was kicked out of the house by my father, this is the first time I come here to drink, thank you for coming here with me... Did I say before, Rongxiu, you are actually a A very gentle person?"

"No," Li Rongxiu shook his head with a stern face, and said dully: "You just said that I am a dandy who doesn't know how to learn, and doesn't know how to make progress. You said you don't want to spend time with a boy who will never grow up. For the rest of your life. You said that the man you will marry in the future must be mature, stable, ambitious, and he will be the proud son of heaven in everyone's mind."

Shen Manyao: "..."

She suddenly found that there was a reason why she and Li Rongxiu couldn't fall in love with this person after knowing each other for so many years.Compared with Chi Junrui's maturity, humor, and romantic enthusiasm, the dull-haired and arrogant Li Rongxiu is like a glass of lukewarm boiled water. The steak fried on the iron plate is dry and hard, with no taste at all.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Manyao stopped trying to talk about the old relationship with Li Rongxiu, and shared the memory of the good feeling when they were together in memory.She wrapped her left arm around her right arm, and subconsciously drew circles on the dining table with her right fingertips at the corner of the table. This was an obviously weak and feminine move.Shen Manyao made such gestures and hints, and then said with a lonely face: "...you know, Rongxiu, I always thought that Jun Rui loved me. He has done many romantic and beautiful things for me. We I met when I traveled to country f last summer. We walked through every street in the capital of country f together, and went to the cafe on the street to drink coffee. He would pretend to be a wandering painter to sketch for me, and he would take me with me. Go to the beach to watch the stars, fall asleep listening to the waves, make bracelets for me with the shells I picked up with my own hands..."

"I originally thought that the reason why Jun Rui treated me like this was because of love. But I didn't realize until today that even if there is no love, if Jun Rui needs it, he will still make so many romantic things that make people feel like they are about to melt." things. But these things are no longer for me..."

As Shen Manyao was talking, a crystal clear teardrop overflowed from the corner of her eye and rolled down her cheek.In the next second, Shen Manyao raised her head, and tried her best to widen her eyes, trying not to allow tears to fall again.Salty tears wet the eye sockets, and under the reflection of the crystal lights, they become brighter and moister, giving people an aesthetic feeling of extreme fragility, yet strong and proud.

Shen Manyao has always been a woman who can take advantage of her beauty.Li Rongxiu knew this very well.But at this moment, Li Rongxiu was still obsessed. He took out the square scarf in the school uniform pocket, handed it to Shen Manyao, and said, "You are crying, wipe your tears."

Hearing this, Shen Manyao covered her moist eye sockets with her hands, and curled her lips in embarrassment.The shy look of crying and laughing makes her look more delicate and cute while being strong.She reached out to take Li Rongxiu's scarf and wiped away her tears, then held the scarf in her hand and played with it.After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "I'm sorry that I lost my temper and soiled your square towel. I'll return it to you after I wash it."

When Shen Manyao said this, she originally wanted to find a good excuse for the next meeting between the two.Unexpectedly, one second Li Rongxiu knew how to pity and cherish jade, and the next second he shook his head in confusion, and said in a daze: "No need, I still have dozens of square scarves like this one that go with school uniforms, and they are not worth much. The stuff... you can just throw it away."

A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Shen Manyao's heart.She coughed lightly in embarrassment, not planning to continue entanglement on this issue.Instead, he said: "By the way, I haven't been back to school for a long time. I heard that you are taking Allen and the others to make a movie, and you are going to compete for the title of the best student at the centennial celebration. When did you become so hardworking?" Motivated...couldn't it be because of what I said before?"

Li Rongxiu lowered his head and took a sip of hot cocoa, then picked up a piece of macaron and put it in his mouth, without answering Shen Manyao's words.This made Shen Manyao feel embarrassed and powerless again.She picked up the hot milk and took a sip as a cover-up, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Li Rongxiu didn't want to discuss with Shen Manyao what he was doing, so he brought the topic to the source again, and asked directly: "Didn't you say that you have news about Chi's family? Is there any?"

Shen Manyao saw the impatient expression on Li Rongxiu's face, and her heart trembled.That's right, how could she forget that Li Rongxiu, who was originally loved and arrogant, was such an impatient person?

A spoiled child under the doting of the elders and elder brothers in the family.As long as everything is not done according to his will, he will immediately lose his temper irrepressibly.

It's just that Li Rongxiu used to be in front of her, Shen Manyao, and would always restrain his frivolous and manic side, and do things that could make him happy with gentleness and care.But now... the privileges that he should have had are gone.

Shen Manyao sighed in disappointment, and no longer challenged Li Rongxiu's patience, she said directly: "The Chi family wanted Chi Junrui to please Yao Pingting, originally they wanted to use this opportunity to win over the Yao family and solve the plight of their own shipyard. But I didn't expect that At the most critical time, there will be a scandal of oil spills from cargo ships polluting the sea. Now the Chi family has no choice but to sell their property to restore their reputation. Of course, the Chi family also wants to take this opportunity to leave the real estate and infrastructure industries ,in addition--"

"I know all these things, I don't need you to endorse for me." Li Rongxiu put down the hot cocoa in his hand, took out the napkin and wiped his hands.His body was straightened and his back was leaned against the back of the chair.It was an emotionally charged gesture, revealing the impatience of the owner of the body wanting to get up and leave.

Shen Manyao's mood also became more hasty because of Li Rongxiu's actions, she couldn't help speeding up her speech, and said: "You all know that the Chi family's shipyard originally owned [-]% of the Yao family's shares, since the Yao family is involved Well, even if the Chi family wants to sell the shipyard, they will give priority to selling their shares to the Yao family. Therefore, if other people want to participate in the competition, they must quote a more favorable price based on the Yao family's asking price."

Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows, and Shen Manyao continued: "...but I inadvertently learned that no matter how much the Yao family finally bid, the Chi family will never sell the shipyard to the Yao family. Therefore, if the Li family can sell the shipyard this time During the acquisition, if we get more inside information about the Chi family..."

Shen Manyao didn't say the rest, but no matter how stupid Li Rongxiu was, he understood now.It's just that he felt more and more a violation.He frowned, and said back, "How do I know if what you said is true or not? Anyway, it's not like you haven't ever lied to me? Besides, Chi Junrui is now chasing Miss Yao's family. If the Chi family really wanted to sell the shipyard, the first choice would be the Yao family. In this way, it would not only please the father-in-law, but also keep the fat from flowing into other people's fields. Maybe the shipyard would become Chi again after wandering around. Why bother any more?"

"The Chi family originally had this plan, but all of this must be based on the Yao family's willingness to turn around. If the Chi family finds out that the oil spill from the cargo ship was originally the work of the Yao family...you say, the Chi family will be willing to do it for you." Does someone else make wedding clothes?"

"What?" Li Rongxiu was really surprised this time.

Shen Manyao smiled, and said meaningfully: "Why do you think that the oil spill from the cargo ship happened at Chi's shipyard at this moment? You don't really believe the nonsense about the substandard quality in the newspapers, do you? "

Li Rongxiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then blurted out: "You mean the Yao family did this?"

Shen Manyao reached out and brushed the broken hair that fell on her neck, and said with a light smile: "I didn't say that, you guessed it yourself. But... Chi's family cooperated with Yao's family to open a factory back then, and Chi's family bought shares with funds, occupying 70.00% of the shares, and the Yao family invested in technology, accounting for 30.00% of the shares. Therefore, almost all the technicians in the Chi family shipyard were hired and trained through the channels of the Yao family. I won’t hold back when it comes to Chi’s family.”

"...Then what does that have to do with our Li family? No matter whether Chi Junrui and the Chi family are to blame or not, they have come to this point, after all, they are inseparable from our Li family. So whether the shipyard of the Chi family is sold It's not our Li family's turn to give it to anyone. What's more, our Li family has no way out in the shipbuilding industry, and we don't want to offend the Yao family for a shipyard full of holes."

Shen Manyao looked at Li Rongxiu in surprise.She found that today's Li Rongxiu is very assertive and has learned to cover himself with words.He is no longer the little boy who was fooled by him back then.Thinking of this, Shen Manyao's heart sank, she swallowed the words she had prepared, and also changed her attitude.

"Don't be so absolute. There is no cat in this world who doesn't steal. In business and business, I don't believe that your Li family can watch such a piece of fat flow into the market without being tempted at all?" Shen Manyao hooked the corners of her lips in a leisurely manner, like a big sister persuading a little brother, and said with a soft smile: "Don't be childish. You know what the elders in your family think, and so do I. The whole Wancheng knows too .Otherwise, you wouldn't have come with me."

Li Rongxiu really hates Shen Manyao's appearance of knowing everything, but as Shen Manyao said, there is no cat in this world that does not steal.The Li family is indeed interested in the assets that the Chi family wants to sell, but it is not the shipyard that is the big head, but several other infrastructure projects owned by the Chi family.The reason why the Li family was interested in the shipyard in Wancheng was rumored to be because of Li's father and Li's brother.As for the truth of the matter...it can only be said to be false and true.In the words of Papa Li——

"If the time is right, it's okay."

But Li Rongxiu doesn't need to tell Shen Manyao about this.He calmly glanced at a coffee table in the lobby, facing away from Shen Manyao diagonally.He said casually: "I really don't understand, don't you and Chi Junrui fall in love freely, don't you love each other so much that you can't help but can't control it? It's only been a few days, and Chi Junrui has been chasing after Yao every day regardless of your big belly. Pingting went to heaven and earth, and you also met me behind his back, and also told me the inside news of the Chi family... I really don't understand you two."

Shen Manyao's face changed when Li Rongxiu said it, and she immediately said with grievance: "What can I do? Thanks to you, I have become the biggest shame and joke of the upper class in the evening city. I was kicked out of the house by my father. To be left behind by the people I love. If I don't do something else, I'm going crazy?"

"So you met me to take revenge on Chi Junrui? Or to take revenge on the Shen family?" Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows. With his IQ and experience, he still couldn't understand the worldview of Chi Junrui and Shen Manyao.These two people had a toss of separation and reunion in their previous lives, and it was the same in this life.Could it be that they are destined to not be able to live a peaceful life?

"No, I met you to get Jun Rui back to my side again." What surprised Li Rongxiu was Shen Manyao's answer.She reached out and stroked her protruding belly, and said with determination: "I want him to understand that if he continues to ignore me, he may lose me, our child, or even everything , such a result, he absolutely cannot bear."

Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows, "But what does this have to do with me?"

Shen Manyao smiled at Li Rongxiu, but said nothing.

"You don't think... we can still be together?" Li Rongxiu was dumbfounded this time.

"How is it possible?" Shen Manyao shook her head, and said bluntly: "Although I also feel disappointed, but based on my understanding of you, you are definitely not the type of person who will turn back. Meeting, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Li family's business, right?"

As Shen Manyao said, she suddenly turned around and greeted her back. Zhao Qijun, who was hiding in the corner of the lobby and was busy taking pictures and videos, almost broke the camera in his hand.Then Shen Manyao turned around and smiled at Li Rongxiu who was full of embarrassment after the trick was exposed: "Do you want to order Zhao Qijun to take a photo of us together and post it on the Internet. Let everyone misunderstand that I came to you, yes Brazenly wanting to get back together with you. In this way, Chi Junrui, as the object of my cheating and the father of the child, but unable to take care of his wife and son, will naturally become the biggest joke in the upper-class circle in Wancheng. And I Shen Manyao, let the Li family's young mistress not do it, followed such a person who didn't take care of things, and finally came back to you after being abandoned with a big belly. You, Li Rongxiu, and even your Li family, can save some face and at the same time , and slap the Shen family and the Chi family backhand."

Li Rongxiu, who had guessed all his thoughts, could only cough twice in embarrassment, picked up the half-cold hot cocoa on the table, and took a big sip. Before he could figure out what to say, Shen Manyao suddenly got up and reached out to touch Touch Li Rongxiu's cheek.The silky touch was like a touch of water, and then Shen Manyao sat down safely, and said with a smile: "That's great, our ideas coincide with each other."

"Ah?" Li Rongxiu looked at Shen Manyao in a daze upon hearing this.Seeing the stupid expression in Shen Manyao's eyes, she smiled slightly in a good mood.She said, "No matter what you want to do, just let it go. Anyway, the result of things must be a win-win for us."

"Why did you do this?" Li Rongxiu really felt that his IQ was not enough, so he hated staying with smart people the most in his life (￢_￢). "You know that doing this will make outsiders laugh at the Shen family and the Chi family, right?"

"So what?" Shen Manyao shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly, took a bite of Napoleon crisps, the mellow taste spread on the tip of her tongue, and she narrowed her eyes in a pleasant mood.Shen Manyao said nonchalantly: "Jun Rui didn't take my feelings into account when he chased Yao Pingting for the sake of his family. When my father drove me out of the house, he didn't care about my life. If so, why should I Do you care if their reputation and interests will suffer?"

"There is an old saying in the empire. If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know etiquette. The reason why I made such a bad plan is because they forced me to do so."

Li Rongxiu looked at Shen Manyao who was completely different from just now, and almost collapsed.This is not the Shen Manyao he knew, okay?

In the corner of the lobby, Zhao Qijun, who has been loyally taking a sneak shot with a camera, found Li Rongxiu's almost collapsed face from the camera, and he no longer cared about hiding his whereabouts (I didn't hide it at all ╮(╯_╰)╭ ), immediately stood up and walked to Li Rongxiu's table to sit down, lowered his voice, looked at Shen Manyao with hostility, and said in a deep voice: "What is Miss Shen going to do? I won't let you bully Young Master Xiu in front of me !"

Shen Manyao's bright eyes looked up and down Zhao Qijun's body for a while, then turned to Li Rongxiu with a smile and said, "You have a good follower."

Zhao Qijun's follower ignored Shen Manyao's words, and said to himself: "Miss Shen, do you have anything else to say, if not, please forgive us."

Shen Manyao was slightly taken aback.She suddenly discovered that Li Rongxiu, a follower, had a clear and special hostility towards her.Instead, she recalled the impression and feeling that Zhao Qijun had given her in the past, it seemed that this person had been circling around Li Rongxiu like a flattering pug.Before this, Shen Manyao always believed that Zhao Qijun was trying to gain the fortune of the Li family, so she wanted to curry favor with Li Rongxiu and gain some benefits.But judging from Zhao Qijun's actions today...

Shen Manyao pursed her lips in displeasure, this feeling made her feel a little strange from the bottom of her heart.The disdainful and contemptuous attitude towards Zhao Qijun, the arrogance that he would come and go when he called, was slightly restrained.She glanced at Zhao Qijun with a half-smile, as if she had seen through some secret neurotic eyes, which made Zhao Qijun feel as if he was being targeted by a predator.

However, Li Rongxiu didn't notice the confrontation between Shen Manyao and Zhao Qijun. Seeing that things were getting more and more weird, Li Rongxiu no longer had the interest to greet Shen Manyao. He got up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go home for dinner. Let's go." Bar."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qijun immediately got up and followed behind Li Rongxiu.Only Shen Manyao was left sitting alone on the seat.The guests on both sides of the lobby and the service staff in the corner sneaked a peek over, but Shen Manyao didn't care.She tapped the table with her fingertips thoughtfully, and murmured, "Zhao Qijun..."

While thinking about it, Shen Manyao sighed regretfully.The reason why she came to Li Rongxiu at this time was because she really wanted to restore the old relationship - at least, she wanted to let outsiders know that she had such a mind.Only in this way can she turn passive into active and solve the current embarrassing situation.

It's a pity that after talking with Li Rongxiu for so long, I didn't even get a chance to take the initiative and gain the upper hand. The whole negotiation was controlled by Li Rongxiu.But he was being drawn, step by step retreating.It can be seen from this that in Li Rongxiu's heart, the self at this moment does not have the status that he was held in the palm of his hand like in the past.In this case, the original plan will not work.It's better to get straight to the point, which can not only show your sincerity, but also make Li Rongxiu less vigilant.

It's a pity that such a stumbling block as Zhao Qijun was killed halfway.

Thinking of Zhao Qijun's nervous appearance, Shen Manyao sneered and crushed the residue of Napoleon crisp in her hand, then wiped her hands gracefully, got up and left.

It's just that before she could walk out of the revolving door of the coffee shop, she was stopped by a waiter in a black suit.The handsome waiter looked at Shen Manyao with pity on his face, and said bravely, "Miss Shen, you haven't paid the bill yet."

Shen Manyao: "..."

Sitting in the Bach car driving at a constant speed, Li Rongxiu suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Zhao Qijun, "When you came out of the coffee shop just now, did you pay the bill?"

Zhao Qijun: (⊙o⊙)?

After being dazed for a long time, Zhao Qijun hesitated and said, "That... the coffee shop should send the bill to Li's house, right?"

Li Rongxiu was speechless for a moment, and couldn't bear it anymore, he hit Zhao Qijun violently, and blurted out: "You idiot, who would sign a bill even after drinking a cup of coffee?"

But no matter how angry Li Rongxiu is, I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, Li Rongxiu and Shen Manyao will have another private meeting, get up and leave without saying a word, and the news that the lady will pay for him will be on the headlines of all the gossip magazines and entertainment tabloids in Wancheng .

What a shame!

When Li Rongxiu returned to Li's house full of anger, the elders in the family and elder brother Li had already learned the news of Li Rongxiu's meeting with Shen Manyao from the well-developed Internet.Before the worried Li family could ask any questions, Li Rongxiu took out a pair of white jade bracelets from his schoolbag, handed them to Mo Wanju and said, "Grandma, this is your bracelet, it's all back to Zhao."

Looking at Li Rongxiu's smiling face, Mo Wanrou swallowed back the question that was on her lips.She reached out to take the white jade bracelet, played with it for a while, and said, "Did you really put it down this time?"

Li Rongxiu laughed dumbfounded, waved his hands and said, "It's not what you think. There is a reason why I met Shen Manyao."

After speaking, Li Rongxiu revealed his plan to meet Shen Manyao and Shen Manyao's plans.In the end, Li Rongxiu said: "What she wants most now is to marry into the Chi family smoothly. As for what she wants to do, I don't bother to ask. However, I think she said that the Chi family and the Yao family are estranged from each other. It's not a lie either."

Everyone in the Li family smiled when they heard this.Li Rongyu reached out and touched Li Rongxiu's head, and explained to him: "Silly boy, what Shen Manyao said to you is just something that everyone knows well. It's just that you children didn't pay attention. It's really of no value. place. You were coaxed by her again."

Li Rongxiu's face darkened.Seeing everyone staring at each other, unable to help but laugh, I became more and more annoyed.Or how can he hate those smart people who have [-] minds all over their bodies? ╭(╯^╰)╮"I'm tired, I have to go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes." Li Rongxiu pushed away Zhuang Meiru who was hugging her with a serious face, and walked upstairs along the spiral staircase.Hearing the indistinct laughter of the people downstairs, he felt more and more dissatisfied.

On the other side, when Shen Manyao dragged his tired body back to the southern villa, Chi Junrui was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a dark face waiting for her.Seeing Chi Junrui's hands folded over his chest with a livid face, Shen Manyao couldn't help but smile and said, "Why do you have time to come over today, and don't want to play romance with your Miss Yao?"

When Chi Junrui heard this, he felt a burst of anger welling up in his chest, almost burning him out.He forced himself to hold back the outburst of anger, got up and walked in front of Shen Manyao, held her shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Manyao, please don't make trouble anymore. Didn't I tell you, I only love You alone. The reason why you went to Yao Pingting was because of the family business. Haven’t we already reached a consensus?”

Shen Manyao looked at the way Chi Junrui was gazing at her affectionately, stretched out his hands to push away his arms that imprisoned her, walked to the sofa and sat down slowly.She reached out and poured herself a cup of rose tea, which was already cold.However, Shen Manyao, who felt the heat in her heart, still drank half a cup of cold tea slowly.Then he said slowly: "I love you too. For you, I did not hesitate to offend the Li family, ruined my reputation, was suspended from school, and kicked out of the house by my father. Now I am homeless with a big belly. I can live like an abandoned woman in the villa where we used to have an affair, waiting for your luck day and night. From the proud girl of heaven to an unruly woman who everyone despises and laughs at, isn’t it enough for me? ?”

Chi Junrui listened to Shen Manyao's word-for-word accusation, and the anger that was originally burning with anger gradually disappeared, and he became more and more guilty.He sat beside Shen Manyao awkwardly, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Manyao's cold little hand on her lap, slowly kneaded and said: "I'm sorry, I know I have wronged you these few days."

"I don't feel wronged. Anyway, it's my fault." Shen Manyao sneered and shook off Chi Junrui's hand.Others said that Shen Manyao was innocent and docile, with a gentle temperament and understanding, but in fact, when she was superior and things were going well, she was also willing to maintain such an illusion.It's a pity that one wrong step, one wrong step, was dragged into the quagmire by Li Rongxiu on the day of engagement, and became the object of ridicule and abuse by everyone in Wancheng and even the empire. She, Shen Manyao, had had enough of being abandoned and at the mercy of others.

She wanted everyone to know that even if she, Shen Manyao, was thrown into the mud, she would still have a way to climb out by herself and climb to the top again, enjoying everyone's admiring eyes.

Of course Chi Junrui didn't know that the little woman beside him would have such ambitions and desires, he held Shen Manyao's thin shoulders with some helplessness and distress, sighed, and said: "Stop saying such angry words, I It will hurt. What's more, you are pregnant now, if you are always depressed, it will also affect the health of the fetus. You are so kind, do you have the heart to make our baby unhappy with you?"

As Chi Junrui said, he moved his lips to Shen Manyao's cheek and kissed lightly. He deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a more calm and sexy voice: "Let's go out to eat tonight. Let's go to your favorite f country restaurant. Eat your favorite pan-fried foie gras, okay?"

Shen Manyao understood.However, when she looked up at Chi Junrui, she showed a delighted smile, nodded with sparkling eyes and said, "Okay. Then wait for me to change clothes, okay?"

Chi Junrui also didn't want to see Shen Manyao going out with him in this dress that she met Li Rongxiu, so she smiled more happily: "Of course it's no problem. It's my honor to wait for the beauty to dress up."

Shen Manyao smiled sweetly, she moved to Chi Junrui's side, and kissed the corner of his lips lightly.The gentle kiss is like a superficial touch, and it will fall apart at the touch of a touch, with some girlish joy and shyness.Successfully aroused Chi Junrui's memory.He suddenly felt like falling in love.Looking at Shen Manyao's still slender back, Chi Junrui took a long breath and had a lot of expectations for the next dinner.

As for who Shen Manyao met with before and what they talked about, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention it.
